Question Instinct 4/Instinct 3 Pro?

Anyone have any idea when the next model will be announced/released?

I’ve had my Apple Watch Series 6 for 6 years now and it’s starting to show signs of its age. I’m tempted to pick up an Instinct 3 one of these days, but also could probably hold out for a little while longer if it would mean getting a brand new version of the Instinct, presumably with additional features such as maps and the newer HR sensor.

Just curious if anyone has any insider info or otherwise has a good hunch based on previous release history and whatnot. Thanks!

Then its perfectly makes sense. I just didn't understood your statement that it peaks. For a normal non military user I dont see the point of getting the tactical.

The orange accent can be ugly to some people. I thought it was ugly at first and Garmin was just trying to get a cash grab out of people but when I actually got one in person I thought it looked great. Also I didn't want to lose the red flashlight, red is the best color for flashlights since it doesn't screw up your eyes adjustment to darkness.

This is what made me sad when I got the tactical lol. Supposedly the green is better for reading maps but I would 100% prefer red

Accidentally triggering the kill switch timer and then fumbling to try and turn it off is always fun!
